Kim Selbert , LMFT

Kim Selbert is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. She focuses on grief, life changes, stress and anxiety, and many issues often tied to women's health. Kim brings ten years of clinical experience to sessions and aims to help people find clearer direction and relief.

She favors a Client-Centered approach and centers sessions on listening and understanding the person in front of her. Conversations are meant to feel respectful and practical, with time spent on skills that can be used outside sessions. Humor and lived experience sometimes shape how she connects and normalizes difficult emotions.

Kim's background includes a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from Lindenwood University and a Master of Science in Occupational Therapy from the University of Southern California. She has worked across a range of care settings and has written about childbirth, bringing that perspective into work around pregnancy and parenting topics.

People often seek her help for relationship concerns, intimacy-related problems, sleeping difficulties, anger, career questions, and depression. Kim also supports those facing aging or cancer-related issues and those coping with isolation or questions of life purpose.

Her style is straightforward and warm. Sessions mix empathetic listening with education and practical tools so people can use what they learn after therapy ends. Kim helps clients set goals and build small steps toward the life they want.

Client-centered care in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person as an individual. The therapist creates a nonjudgmental space and helps clients name their concerns, whether they are dealing with grief, stress, or questions about life purpose. This approach is useful for emotional support and building self-awareness.

Because Kim uses a person-focused style, choosing the right approach often happens together. The therapist will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That collaborative process helps shape session pacing and the practical tools introduced along the way.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper conversation, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setup is available. Live chat and messaging support brief check-ins or ongoing reflection between longer sessions. These options make it easier to attend sessions around work, caregiving, or medical appointments while keeping therapy flexible and accessible.
